Infrared standards vs infrared scope of work: A Standard may be defined as a criterion set of practices. There are a number of standards and specifications published for infrared thermography. Current standards and specifications that apply to infrared thermography are published by ASNT, ASTM, NETA, NFPA, and Infraspection Institute.  These standards cover certification of personnel, […]

In professional fields, certification refers to a person’s formal training, education, and skills assessment.  Currently, there are 3 levels of certification for Infraspection Institute certified infrared thermographers: Level I introduces infrared theory, heat transfer concepts, equipment operation and selection, standards compliance, image analysis, and report generation. Level II discusses advanced infrared theory, equipment calibration, error […]

Solar Panels Saving Money… The decision to install solar panels may be influenced by dollars saved through tax breaks or “Green” incentives, or the main reason . . . to lower energy costs.  Calculations are based on the payback and energy cost savings assuming that ALL solar panels are working at 100% efficiency. Typical problems […]

Infrared Survey Report… At the conclusion of an Infrared Survey, the findings should be documented in a clear, easy-to-understand report, in a written format as well as electronic. A report that complies with industry standards should include the following:
